INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
More Activity in Trade Circles Is Noticeable
with the Appearance of a Cheerful Sun.

More Activity in Trade Circles Is Noticeable
with the Appearance of a Cheerful Sun.
INDIANAPOLIS, April &c.
Trade to-day took on something of its old time
proportions. There were number of country
m srchants in, and the dry goods men, the gro-
GERS, and the boot and shoe men were quite busy
the entire day. Our dry goods quotations were
carefully revised. to-day, and a. number of slight
changes made. mostly in the way of advances.
For some lines of goods there has been brisk
demand, and this has stiffened prices. In wooden
goods there is still considerable uncertainty but
indications are to steady prices, regardless Of
what the fluctuations are in wool, as the
new crop comes to the market. Coffees are in
the same high tide of some days past. but iii
is not believed that the bulls can push them much
higher. Sugars are steady and firm at quota
tons. The provision market, in a jobbing way.
is active. Stocks are light, as compared with
the holdings at the corresponding period last
year. The poultry market rules easy; receipts
still large. Eggs in better demand and frmer.
Butter is coming in more freely, and prices are
weak. Other marke cts present no new features.
The wool market still rules quiet. The Boston
Journal, excellent authority on this article. says
interior markets are attracting more attention
cow than seaboard markets, ard many holders
are not willing to move their supplies until they
know more definitely whether not they
be replaced. The opinion prevails that bottom
has been reached and that no lower prices need he
expected on the new clip. Wool is opening in the
West at comparatively high prices, and as compe-
ttion becomes more brisk, higher, rather than
lower need be expected The West is imbued
with confidence in the future of business not
found in the East to such extent. In many
parts of northern Ohio. and southern Michigan
and Indiana speculation is rife in oil wells. and
land is being rapidly bought p in anticipation
of striking OIL All through the West real
estate is on the boom, and railroad enterprises
There is unbounded faith in the year 1887. If
this confidence continues and results in profit it's
effect will quickly be apparent in the East, and
be disposed of. This is the tenor of the letters
received by prominent dealers here from their.
buyers now in the West and and it is thought
that farmers will not be disposed to sell their
wool at low prices so long as the upward ten
dency and improved feeling exists in other
branches of business"
Receipts of wheat are on the increase, still the
market rules strong, and prices to-day were a
shade higher. Nothing is doing in the way of
shipments, the arrivals not supplying the home
demand for milling purposes. The receipts of
corn are still light and prices are firm at quota
tons. which range somewhat higher than on
Monday. Oats are in good demand for home
consumption; the receipts still meager
